| first phylogenetic analysis of a crimean-congo hemorrhagic fever virus genome in naturally infected rhipicephalus appendiculatus ticks (acari: ixodidae). | crimean-congo haemorrhagic fever (cchf) is a potentially fatal systemic viral disease in many parts of the world, including iran. the nationwide incidence of human cchf in endemic areas was 870 confirmed cases with 126 deaths (case fatality rate, cfr = 17.6 %) in the decade leading to 2012. the detection of the cchf virus (cchfv) genome in tick vectors is of fundamental importance for identifying these ticks as potential reservoirs of cchfv infection. from may to october 2013, following detectio ... | 2015 | 25742932 |
